Inspired by the 'Your cat(s)' topic, I wondered, given the primary nature of this forum, if people would care to share thoughts and pictires of their avian companions.
Our canary is called Quark - a physics joke based on his characteristics as a young bird: charm, colour, and a quantum effect of seeming able to go from one part of his cage to another without appearing to be any intermediate position. We were able to allow him to fly free in the living room but it took a while to train him to voluntarily return to the cage; amusingly he ended up making sure we'd seen him go back in so that he'd earn his treat. He showed no inclination to be hand tame. Now he's getting old with poor vision and scruffy plumage, but he's still got character.
